Face cream.

I’ve been looking at different face creams recently as I’ve aged horribly over the past year. I’ve always looked after my skin, moisturised etc. Was a bit slack for a while with uv protection and the skin on my face has gone quite leathery. Face cream that I used to use seems to just sit on top of my skin and not penetrate it at all even though I use serum as well. I keep reading about hyalondric (sp) acid and also peptides so I’m going to try something a bit more heavy duty. I know it’s vain of me but I’ve always had nice skin: one of my few good features, and it’s quite upsetting. I’ve also found that, as I rarely wear make up these days, when I do put on the make up I usually would wear I look like a pantomime dame so that needs a rethink, too. I’m all saggy and freckly and age spotty and also seem to have post menopause acne.

I have recently started using Nivea Q10 as most of the other creams I have used over the years have brought me out in spots - at my age ! The heavy anti-ageing creams are the worst.

It is about £11 a pot but you can often get it discounted at Superdrug or some of the supermarkets.

You could also try the Simple range as it is supposed to be for sensitive skin and could help restore the balance of your skin.

If you want to try good face cream you can try lakme complexion care cream from LakmeIndia. It is good for dry skin.

I have been using L’occitane Divine cream and I can tell the difference. It isn’t cheap but so worth it. I’ve been using the eye cream in this range for several years but decided in lockdown and saving pennies by staying home to treat myself to the face cream. . So glad I did.
Incidentally during the previous Christmas lockdown I cut back on using the eye one as I wasn’t going anywhere etc. It wasn’t until I looked at a photo of myself with DGS on Christmas Day I thought maybe I should go back to using it. I could really tell the difference with not using it,
